What's in a name?

As we grow closer to the ones we love, as our relationship blossoms into the most intimate it can be, we tend to drop the formal names in conversation with each other. How many of us have parents who refer to each other simply as "Mother" and "Father?" There are the standards -

"Hon"
"Babe"
"Sweetie"
"Hot Stuff"

But there are those who reach further out and really work on the perfect pet name for their significant other. They find new monikers for their loved ones that mean something to both of them; a cute inside joke, a pun, or something so endearing that it makes the rest of us vomit a little in our mouths.

My last pet name was Peeve.
As in Pet Peeve.
As in I am her pet.
I actually dug it.

It meant that we meant something more to each other, in so much that we wanted to have our own private names for each other. We had the "vomit in your mouth" endearing type relationship. When we broke up, and we both began to date new people, I asked her if her new beau was her Peeve as well. She replied that there would never be another Peeve. That was nice to know it wasn't a recycled nickname.
